Wait, @the_ben, for real, you're not supposed to flip chicken thighs at all?

Blew my mind when I first tried mist on aluminum (6061 is a pain, right?). I was burning through end mills every few parts with flood coolant, then switched to a tiny fog and got triple the tool life. Took me like two weeks to stop overdoing the air and find that sweet spot.

Man that is just crazy how fast things have changed. I feel for you having to deal with all that extra stuff on paper. It makes me wonder if the old way was too loose or if the new way is just overkill for no good reason. Honestly it feels like the city is just trying to cover their own butts with all these new codes and tests. More lines on a quote don't always mean a better foundation, you know? I'd rather have a simple price from a builder I trust than a novel of paperwork from someone who's just checking boxes. The warranties are probably about the same either way since they barely cover anything beyond the first couple years. So yeah, I get why you'd be frustrated with the shift. It's a lot of noise for what should be a straightforward job.
